I Can’t Compete

Cordova, TN; January 21, in the year of our Lord 2019--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is returning to an interesting concept that
few gaming media outlets will even acknowledge. I work a full
time day job. I work Family Friendly Gaming as a second job that
is part ministry, part hobby, and part influencer. The time I
have to sit down and enjoy a game is limited. The time I have to
devote to any one game is very limited. I am constantly video
recording different games. I am constantly playing games for
reviews. I check up on games that others have written reviews
for to verify the accuracy of their reviews. I write columns,
create pages in the magazine, and more. I spend time with my
wife and kids doing a variety of chores and activities. I might
have one to two hours per week to do something I want to do.

Why does any of this matter? What is the big deal about any of
this? I realized something fascinating recently. I am way over
matched in Fortnite. I can’t compete in Fortnite. Why not? There
are people playing this game fifteen hours a day. They learn
techniques and skills from gluttoning themselves on that game. I
have to work a job to pay the bills (which I can barely cover
with the two jobs). I do not have the time to waste on playing
just one game that many hours a day. No wonder there are these
players that are way better than me. They cheat by neglecting
life to devote to one game. They cheat by neglecting family and
friends to spend an unhealthy amount of time in one game. Is
there some kind of device to even the odds? Is there some kind
of a way Fortnite can make it fair? Do you know?

I have placed second in Fortnite a couple of times. I have
gotten in the top ten half of the times I have played this game.
How did I do it with such a skill and experience deficit? I used
strategy. I understand there are really strong and talented
predators in that game. How could I do so well against such
strong opponents? How could I do so great when there is such an
imbalance? I hid. Let that sink in for a moment. I avoided other
players as much as possible. I found places to hide and ambush
anyone that came through that door. I let the other players take
one another out. No need getting in the way. I also observed
what they did, and how they played to get some idea on how I
could improve. I realized these players are way better than me
because of the time they are spending in this one game. This is
why I can’t compete. I have more important things to do.
